Answer

You're working a digital transformation at your company. Here Engineering will implement your vision and bring the transformation to life. Our expertise is on Cloud development, IoT, and Big Data—the core elements of your transformation. And, we're an onshore company, that means 100% of our people are Here in the U.S. Being close allows us to understand you better, and help you faster.

Question 2

Can you help my company with our AWS project?

Answer

Yes. Here Engineering we use the best, and most robust platforms. We're an AWS Consulting Partner—the clear leader in cloud computing, considered second to none. Every one of our developers is AWS certified, and we specialize in the AWS platform for Cloud, IoT, and Big Data development.

Question 3

How do you keep your rates competitive AND deliver world-class service?

Answer

Our team is made up of experienced and talented industry professionals who deliver stellar design and architectural depth to every project. And because our engineering center is located in Brunswick, Maine, we're able to keep our costs down and pass these savings on to you. What's more, our sales offices are in areas close to your place of operation, so we're local and available for onsite projects with your team when you need us.

Question 4

Why is Here Engineering superior to an offshore firm?

Answer

The theoretical cost-savings of hiring an offshore company are too often that—theory. In truth, myriad factors drive offshore costs up: management problems, quality control issues, and security risk. Here Engineering is in the U.S., which means we can travel to you and your customers when you need us. You’ll have the security you need for your company’s sensitive data, proprietary software, and intellectual property. We communicate freely, operate transparently, have great agility, and perform reliably. And we do it at a terrific price.

Will I have the ability to work with your team side-by-side?

Answer

Yes. Here Engineering assembles talented developers into Agile Development Teams tailored to the technical requirements, experience levels, and special needs of your project. Our agile teams integrate with your team seamlessly through scrum meetings and daily standups—along with your internal processes and methodologies. Every member of our team is plugged in and remains fully transparent.

Question 6

Can Here Engineering really handle projects of any size?

Answer

We can. We recruit talent relentlessly in order to maintain a robust pipeline of developers with expertise throughout the industries we service. We've also made the commitment to enhance already successful developers with additional training and internal experience to ensure we produce a continual stream of leading-edge talent that meets the ever-evolving demands of Cloud, IoT, and big data tech. An important part of our business model is to train engineers on AWS, making this investment so our clients won’t have to. With each new project, we assemble an Agile Development Team from our existing staff, and draw from our pipeline of developers with the right expertise for your project.

Question 7

What do you mean when you say you are fully transparent?

Answer

It’s a simple promise, really. We are committed to professional and honest management practices and we make sure that our work is always in plain view. Successes and accomplishments are easy to share, but we also face challenges and difficulties openly and resolve them as they occur, making sure you're always fully informed.

Question 8

How important is it to communicate with your clients?

Answer

Mission critical. If you ask us, communication and transparency go hand in hand. An informed client is a powerful asset to our mutual success. In-person daily communication through standups, scrum meetings, messaging tools, email, and telephone calls—to well-commented code and delivery documentation—Here Engineering shares openly and communicates at every level, every step of the way.
